PENALTY for CGI Redirects? Primary and Secondary domains.

PENALTY for CGI Redirects? Primary and Secondary domains being redirected.

[Tim Needs Help]

I use an INDEX.CGI script which points primary and secondary domains to different pages.

See details below.

Does anyone know if this can cause problems or penalties?

Any thoughts welcome.

$mainpage = "index.shtml";
%domains = (
'www.primary-domain.com' => 'index.shtml',
'www.secondary-domain1.com' => 'secondary-index.shtml',
'www.secondary-domain2.com' => 'secondary2-index.shtml',
);

The above will tell what the script does.
Anyone typing in ANY of the above three domains will FIRST be directed to INDEX.CGI.
( instead of the usual index.html )

The INDEX.CGI then REDIRECTS to specified pages.

If the typed in URL is:
www.primary-domain.com
They are directed to: index.shtml

If the typed in URL is:
www.secondary-domain1.com
They are directed to: secondary-index.shtml

If the typed in URL is:
www.secondary-domain2.com
They are directed to: secondary2-index.shtml

In summary: The CGI script points each DomainName to unique pages.

What are the headers that the above generates?

Here is the script:

When anyone types either the primary domain URL or secondary domain URLS, then the INDEX.CGI redirects them to the appropriate page to match the URL.

Get something like Proxomitron that you can view the headers that the server is sending out. You want seamless (no error codes) between pages.

Proxomitron

Ive downloaded Proxomitron.
It looks a bit vast.

I have windows xp.

which command do I use for headers.

Thanks.

I've never used Proxomitron but can recommend 'cg-eye interactive'. Web based and very quick and easy.
